About this audiobook

In 1984 by George Orwell, one of the pivotal paragraphs that captures the essence of the novel is when Winston Smith reflects on the power and control exerted by the Party. This passage illustrates the Party's ability to manipulate reality and shape individual thought:

"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past."


This phrase encapsulates the totalitarian regime's grip on history and truth. By constantly rewriting records and altering facts, the Party ensures that they control not just the narrative of the past, but also how people think and perceive the present and future. It is a chilling depiction of the dangers of unchecked power and the erosion of personal freedom and truth under a totalitarian state.


In Anthem by Ayn Rand, the story is set in a dystopian future where individuality has been entirely suppressed in favor of collective control. The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, struggles to break free from a society where the word "I" is forbidden, and personal identity is considered a sin. As he discovers the power of independent thought and embraces his own identity, he ultimately rejects the oppressive collective and declares the sanctity of individualism. The novel explores themes of freedom, self-expression, and the importance of personal choice in shaping one's deSTINY.


In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, ollows Bernard Marx and John the Savage as they grapple with a society that prioritizes comfort and control over freedom and authentic human experience. Through this dystopian lens, Huxley critiques the dangers of a technologically advanced, consumer-driven society that strips away personal freedom and individuality.
